What makes him stand and fight
When he only wants to love
And why do they push so hard
When he only needs a shove
Everytime I see him give
It's his turn to take
Everytime I see him go
Everybody says to wait
Ooh
Can't get loose
You can fight like hell
But you can't get loose
You can dream
But you can't get loose
It's holdin' on, holdin' on
Can't get loose
Oh, no, no
What makes one man rich
How's another man get so poor
What make someone care so much
For things another man can just ignore
Some questions go unanswered
And they have for quite some time
Something's forever sacred
We're just prisoners of our own mind
Ooh
Can't get loose
We can fight like hell
But we can't get loose
We can dream
But we can't get loose
Keep's on holdin' on, holdin' on
Can't get loose
Shake it, shake it, can't it loose
Oh yea
There she sits
With stars in her eyes
But too afraid to dance
'Cause every guy that she holds so close
Just wants to get in her pants
Oh yea
(Solo)
(Can't get loose)
(Can't get loose)
(Can't get loose)
Can't get loose
Tell me what keeps her by his side
When she's treated just like dirt
The fear of the dark unknown
Appears to be much worse than the hurt
So she stays up nights and dreams
Of a knight in shining armour
Who will rescue her one day
While time keeps going against her
Ooh
Can't get loose
Yeah, you can fight like hell
But you can't get loose
You can dream
Ah, but you can't get loose
Keep's on holdin' on, holdin' on
Can't get loose
Shake it, shake it
Can't get loose
Yeah, just fight like hell
But you can't get loose
Keep's on holdin' on, holdin' on
And you can't get loose
Ah, no no
I know you
Can't get loose
But you can shake it, shake it
